THE sentence of the day: A Macronist incumbent in the Marseille region came in 3rd in her seat. She just dropped out to support the left. She said, about why she's maneuvering to block the far-right: "Defeats happen, but you can never recover from dishonor."

This is a great example of how the left loses to the right by splitting ourselves along degrees of policy instead focusing of defeating those who absolutely destroy any progressive change. Good on the left candidates for narrowing that field and I hope they are actively campaigning as well

Someone should print that on a t-shirt and send it to every Republican who has cravenly supported Trump even after swearing they wouldn’t

Macronists are pro democracy. Check the list of the triangulaires, and most of them have the third contestant crossed out, meaning they're dropping out to stop the extreme right. Like I said, where does RN find its average 17% to get to 50%?

Let those words ring in the ears of anyone even thinking about not using their right to vote to stop Trump.

This is exactly what you do when the choice is between bowing out to fight another day or allow fascists to harm people so you can say you are ideologically pure. I hope people in America understand that.

This remember me of a 1987 Michel Noir quote. Speaking about possible agreement with the FN for the second turn he said: « Mieux vaut perdre les élections que perdre son âme » (Better to lose the election than to lose one's soul)

Another example of Macronists dropping out (the big thing to watch today): The "Hautes-Alpes" has 2 seats, both currently held by Macron's party. Yesterday, Macron's candidates arrived third in each district, behind the RN & the PS. They've both said they're dropping out.

That's a pretty nonsensical idea, isn't it? Because what does that even mean? Honor is a right-wing concept. Nobody needs that shit. And of course you can recover from whatever people may consider dishonor. And she's a Macronist, so ...
